September 1999Salome
Tragödie in einem Akt
by Oscar Wilde, Marcus Behmer, Hedwig Lachmann
Oscar (Fingal O’Flahertie Wills) Wilde wurde am 16. Oktober 1854 in Dublin als Sohn des Arztes William Wilde und der Dichterin Jane Francesca Elgee geboren. Er studierte klassische Literatur am Trinity College in Dublin und am Magdalen College in Oxford. 1879 ging er nach London, wo er sich bald durch seinen extravaganten Lebensstil und seine rhetorische Gewandtheit einen Namen machte. Nach Reisen in die USA, nach Kanada und Frankreich arbeitete Wilde zunächst für verschiedene Zeitungen als Lektor und Herausgeber. Seit 1884 mit Constance Lloyd verheiratet, schrieb und veröffentlichte er 1888 für seine eigenen Kinder die Märchensammlung The Happy Prince and Other Tales. In den folgenden Jahren entstanden weitere Erzählungen (wie The Picture of Dorian Gray, 1891) und zahlreiche Bühnenstücke (wie The Importance of Being Earnest, 1895), die außerordentliches literarisches und gesellschaftliches Aufsehen erregten. Auf dem Höhepunkt seines Erfolges stürzte ihn dann jedoch der Skandal um das langjährige Verhältnis mit Lord Alfred Douglas in den Ruin. Wilde verlor eine Verleumdungsklage gegen Douglas Vater, der ihn der Sodomie bezichtigt hatte, und wurde selbst in einem Strafprozeß wegen Unzucht zu einer zweijährigen Haftstrafe verurteilt. Nach seiner Entlassung aus dem Gefängnis in Reading floh er vor der gesellschaftlichen Ächtung unter falschem Namen nach Paris. Völlig mittellos starb er hier am 30. November 1900. Hedwig Lachmann, geboren 1865 in Stolp und verstorben 1918 in Krumbach, war eine deutsche Schriftstellerin und Übersetzerin.

August 2015Scharlachnatter
Gedichte
by Robert Schindel
Nach sieben Jahren, in denen er neben einem Essayband über jüdische Leit- und Leidensmotive seinen zweiten großen Roman, Der Kalte (2013), publizierte, kehrt Robert Schindel mit einem lyrischen Buch zurück in seine »Herzzone«: Liebesgedichte, poetologische und sprachreflexive Gedichte, Existenzialgedichte, Naturgedichte. Scharlachnatter (eine Wortfindung aus Oscar Wildes Salome) versammelt sowohl ausgreifende Poeme von großem Atem wie gnomisch verdichtete Verse. Es sind Zungengeburten, kunstvoll zur Welt gebracht und von zwiegeschlechtlichem Wesen: erotisch-musikalisch und durchsetzt von bitterer Lebenslust, geistesgegenwärtig und doch gedankenvoll, müde und schlaflos, hinhörend und stürmisch, bewölkt und immer auch sonnenklar – um nur einige der Gegensätze zu nennen, zwischen denen der Dichter ruhelos und rühmend seine Bahnen zieht, bis vielleicht nur noch das »Echo eines Trillers« vernehmbar ist. Eines allerdings mag diese Dichtung so ganz und gar nicht: den allgemeinen Wortgebrauch. Lieber und stets sucht sie »das Wort in welchem was sei«.

PhilosophyOctober 2013Friedrich Nietzsche in seinen Werken
by Andreas/Salomé, Lou
‘If it is even the task of the biographer to explain the thinker through the person, then this is applicable to Nietzsche in an unusually large measure, because in no one else do outside mindwork and inner image of life correspond so completely.’(Lou Andreas/Salomé) According to Anna Freud, Sigmund Freud’s daughter, Andreas/Salomé preempts psychoanalysis with this book about Nietzsche. Based on her extensive knowledge of the texts and her intimate personal experiences with Nietzsche, Lou Andreas/Salomé undertakes to decode the thinker and philosopher through his personality. She achieves a completely novel depiction of his character, his metamorphoses and his psyche. Lou Andreas/Salomé is one of the most popular writers, essayists and psychoanalysts. Her personal relations to Friedrich Nietzsche, Rainer Maria Rilke and Sigmund Freud are still objects of animated research and discussion.

Humanities & Social SciencesMoses, the man
by Freud (Thomas Gindele, Michel Fagard)
Freud was known for destroying the manuscripts of all his published books. For unindentified reasons, he preserved L’Homme Moïse, a novel retracing the birth of judaism, which is the first version of his testamentary work, written in 1934 and published in 1939, under the title Moïse et le monothéisme. In October 1934, in a letter addressed to Max Eitingon, he wrote: “Part of this text inflicts serious offenses on Jewish sentiment, another on Christian sentiment, two things which are better to avoid in our time.” He confided later on to Lou Andreas-Salome, on the same topic : “This problem has haunted me all my life. » By preserving this manuscript, which has never been published, Freud had probably in mind to leave traces of the complex construction of this text, of which he was so fond of and which he published at a time when Nazism was spreading throughout Europe. Thomas Gindele and Michel Fagard, teachers of German at Henri IV High School, found this manuscript at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., transcribed and translated it. Their translation is followed by a commentary by Thomas Gindele on the development of the work.

FictionCabaret Biarritz
by José C. Vales
NADAL PRIZE 2015 - In the summer of 1925, the residents of Biarritz were shocked by a tragic event. The body of a young girl appeared dangling with a foot caught in one of the iron rings used for securing boats in the port. In 1938, the young, passionate writer Georges Miet receives what would turn out to be the most important assignment of his career. His editor asks him to write a ‘serious’ novel about what had taken place in Biarritz almost fifteen years earlier. Miet does not hesitate to travel to the vibrant, coastal city to speak to everyone who could have been linked to the event and comes upon people from all rungs of the social ladder; ranging from domestic employees to distinguished, high-society ladies, as well as reporters, two gendarmes, a photographer, artists, performers, a judge and even a nun. Miet interviews each person he believes to be involved, as if preparing a press feature, in order to meticulously transcribe their statements. He sketches an accurate and detailed portrait of sophisticated, outrageous Biarritz, which turns into the model setting for those golden years of the 1920s during which society sought to break with the most long-established and outdated conventions.
